If your running XP right click on the desktop click properties screen saver tab click the button that says power. Make sure your power scheme is set to home/office and system standby and hibernate is set to never.

Not sure if that's what it is or not though.

I had the same issues and it turned out that I was hacked (from IRC) and someone set up a partition and and was using my box to seed Micheal Jackson and Sting music videos . I did not find out untill they did something that damaged the boot sector and killed my drive. I lost over 400 videos in that crash :unhappy:

that is why everyone should invest in a good firewall. i have my router locked down tight, and then also use a software firewall on all my PCs (in case someone hacks my wireless).

That hacked-on-mirc thing was kind of creepy. My first thought was that it was the "Wake-on-LAN" thing that was the problem though..?
